Do we beat Denver tonight?

Just thought it would be fun to do a prediction. We have Denver tonight, in Denver. The Nuggets have won 3 straight games. We're coming off a lost. However, Denver is 4-6 in their last 10 games, we're 7-3. We don't so well in Denver, but we did beat the Nuggets last game. Ball and Murray hate each. Murray is leading the Nuggets in scoring, while Ball has been struggling.

So...

Who wins tonight?
Who will be the key player tonight for the Lakers (win or lose)?
Will Murray and Ball get into a shoving match?

Murray tries to step up to Tyson Chandler.

Murray cowers.

Tough to play in Denver. Bron goes off but Lakers still lose. Zo sits the entire 4th quarter cus __________ was flying around out there.

If you choose Denver i put a curse on you, unless it's the anti jinx, then carry on

If we can keep our turnovers at a reasonable number. We'll win.

Tough arena, almost as if the nuggets are a different team at home.

Two key factors:
1. Turnovers (Nuggets will win in a blow out if Lakers continue current trend)
2. Jokic, another stretch 5 with skill. These types are a matchup problem for Lakers.

I think Nuggets win, Lakers will need to minimize turnovers and match Nuggets in 3 point shooting to have a chance.

The only ray of hope is that Gary Harris is questionable tonight. If he can’t go, that gives us a better chance as he is their best defender.
